DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The accompanying drawings are included to provide a furtherunderstanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute apart of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of theinvention and, together with the description, serve to explain theprinciples of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a document accommodation case accordingto an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded view ofthe document accommodation case according to an embodiment of thepresent invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present inventionprovides a document accommodation case. The document accommodation caseincludes two case members 1, a buckling member 2, and an accommodatingmember 3.

Each of the two case members 1 has a connection end and a free end. Theconnection ends of the two case members 1 are connected one to anothersuch that the free ends of the two case members 1 can be opened andclosed one relative to another. The buckling member 2 is disposedbetween the free ends of the two case members 1. Preferably, thebuckling member 2 is fixedly attached to an edge of the free end of oneof the two case members 1. FIG. 6 is a partial cutting-away viewillustrating the buckling member of the document accommodation case.Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, the edge is configured with a first hook 21having an oblique plane 211. The first hook 21 is upward hook shaped.The edge further includes a fiddling member 22 having a top corner 221configured with a downward hook shape. When the fiddling member 22 isdownwardly driven, the top corner 221 of the fiddling member 22 rises upso as to interfere against a bottom of the first hook 21.

The bucking member 2 further includes a second hook 23 attached to theedge of the free end of another case member 1. The second hook 23 isdownward hook shaped. The second hook 23 is configured with a thicknessfor allowing the second hook 23 to be inserted into a gap between thefirst hook 21 and the fiddling member 22.

FIG. 3 is an expanded plane view illustrating an accommodating memberwhen expanded into a flat surface. FIG. 4 is a schematic viewillustrating the process of folding the flat surface into theaccommodating member. FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating theconfiguration of the interlayer bags of the accommodating member.Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the accommodating member 3 is preferablyfabricated from a flexible plastic sheet. In preparing the accommodatingmember 3, the plastic sheet is cut to obtain a predeterminedconfiguration as shown in FIG. 3. Then, a folding part A as shown inFIG. 3 is folded toward a backside of a folding part B along line a.Then, the folding part B is further folded toward an upper side of afolding part C along line b. Then, the folding part C′ and the foldingpart B′ as shown in FIG. 3 are folded back to backsides of a foldingpart B″ and a folding part C″, respectively. In this case, an interlayerbag 31 has been obtained. In a similar manner, the consecutiveinterlayer bags 31 as shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained finally by foldingthe plastic sheet. The first folding part and the last folding part Acan be taken as two outermost surfaces of the accommodating member 3,and are fixed to the inner surfaces of the two case members 1,respectively. In such a way, the accommodating member 3 is disposedbetween the two inner surfaces of the two case members, respectively.Therefore, when the two case members 1 are opened one relative toanother, the interlayer bags 31 are also opened one relative to another,and when the two case members 1 are closed and buckled each other, theinterlayer bags 31 are squeezed to stack one to another.

As the two case members 2 are open one relative to another and theinterlayer bags 31 are correspondingly opened, cards and documents canbe sorted and accommodated in different interlayer bags as sorted. FIG.6 is a partial cutting-away view illustrating the buckling member of thedocument accommodation case. Referring to FIG. 6, to close the two casemembers 1, the two case members are applied with a force for pushing thesecond hook 23 into the gap between the first hook and the fiddlingmember 22. The second hook 23 then hooks to hold with the first hook 21,so as to maintain the two case members 1 being well closed. The two casemembers 1 can be conveniently opened by downwardly pressing the fiddlingmember 22 to drive the top corner 221 to interfere the second hook 23which is hooked to the first hook 21. The second hook 23 is thenreleased from the first hook 21, and thus the two case members 1 areopened.

When the free ends of the two case members are closed, the bucklingmember is adapted for buckling the two free ends, so as to secure thetwo case members as closed. Each of the two case members has an insideand an outside. When the two case members are closed, the insides of thetwo case members are enclosed, and the outsides of the two case membersare exposed outwardly. The document accommodation case further includesan accommodating member between the two insides of the two case members.The accommodating member includes a plurality of consecutively connectedinterlayer bags. When the two case members are opened one relative toanother, the interlayer bags are also opened one relative to another.When the two case members are closed and buckled each other, theinterlayer bags are squeezed to stack one to another.
